Straight Talk WiFi Mobile HotSpot (3G)
Has anyone used this for doing e-mails? Is it worth the 80 bucks for the unit then 40 bucks every 2 months for the service. It is on the verizon network so there is a lot of coverage.

If you go to http://www.straighttalk.com and click on the Terms and Conditions that is at the bottom of the page, you'll find the below section. All bolding and emphasis is mine. Straight Talk is TracFone Wireless and comes with a lot of caveats. I'm not a fan - like the below...Unlimited = unlimited, until they say it doesn't = unlimited.
My interpretation of it is that streaming anything - voice, audio, video - is not allowed. Example: not being allowed to watch the real time video from the security cameras at your S&B home. And what is the definition of "ordinary content Downloads"?
Even the last sentence is interesting. If they take action against you, they may give you prior notice of it...or maybe not....

I read it as 'CONTINOUS" streaming of video or data as in a commercial type video viewing is not allowed.Not the viewing of a movie or downloads as you would do normally in a day to day household.
